Did You Dream of Being an Employee? by Robert Kiyosaki

I just read this great email by Robert Kiyosaki titled, "Did You Dream of Being an Employee?" This email cause me to think very hard about life and why people strive to get a job and then once they have the job that they worked so hard to get complain about the job because they have no time to enjoy their life. Some times I find myself doing the same things that I just talked about. However, over the years I have been taking actions to generate passive residual income that will pay for my lives expenses and replace the income from my job. Why do I do this? Because, the only reason that I have a job is the income that it provides me. The trade off is my employer owns me and has almost total control over my life. I like the income, however my freedom is much more valuable to me. So, my dream is not to be an employee for the rest of my life. My dream is to be able to see the world via my bicycle. In order to do this I need to increase my passive income by acquiring income producing assets. I do this through the vehicles of real estate investing and network marketing.

Robert's email is a great read and I hope that you enjoy it and it sparks the entrepreneurial spirit inside of you.   

Did You Dream of Being an Employee?

This email is different than the first two. This email is going to discuss success. The fact that unemployment is at an extreme high is not that scary when you realize that being an employee was never your dream.
Many people think of me as an author. I am not. I am an entrepreneur. Even though it was a tough road at the start, I love being an entrepreneur. Entrepreneurship is where success is found… or made.
I love starting new businesses. I love the creativity, the people I meet, the challenges, and the rewards. In my day, the price for gaining the knowledge and the experience was high, yet in retrospect it was worth it. For you today, receiving the knowledge is much easier and more affordable.
I love the new challenges I go through every day as an entrepreneur. I love the excitement of the startup and then the development. Once the business is up and running, I love the challenge of the expansion and growth. Once the business is thriving, I love the challenge of bringing on new people to add stability and grow the business, which makes the business predictable and profitable.
As an entrepreneur, every day is energizing, new, and experiential. I am always learning something new, even on bad days. To be a true entrepreneur, you need to be smart and love to learn. If you do not love learning, chances are your business will not grow…because you are not growing. Whenever I find a business that is declining or stagnant, it is often because the owner is declining or stagnant.
Entrepreneurship doesn’t just give your life energy and excitement, it gives the world the same lift. Entrepreneurship is the key. And here’s the great part… it doesn’t have to be scary. It doesn’t have to cost a lot. There are many people out there who started their business while still working.
Next I’ll explain the way to test your entrepreneurial spirit. The great thing about being an entrepreneur is that you can do it no matter what your situation is. No matter what is going on around you, you can succeed. Thank you for reading. If you find value in these emails please share them with your friends.

To making life better,
